Hindsight. Ick.

Well, after perusing this article that heatherly posted, I need to figure out what to do about this blog. And my website in general, but mostly about this blog, since most of my petty ranting is here.

Too many entries come up when you Google my name, and although I'm pretty secure in my current job, I don't doubt that some employers would shun me based on my fannish tendencies. I don't post any public work-related rants, and I've blocked search engines from referencing my LJ - but that doesn't guarantee anything.

I suppose I'll have to yank the links off my site and create a separate update blog. Problem is, there's still my fan site to consider. I'd have to wipe out all instances of my name on it and then get everyone who refers to it in their links not to reference my name. Which may be pointless given that Google has a very long memory.

*sigh*

Yes, I should have used a handle back in '96.

*goes to start locking up some of my older entries*

Actually, fanfic is a copyright violation, albeit a usually ignored one.

And until they stop ignoring it, I will continue to disclaim that it is not my universe, it is [insert company name here]'s universe, I don't have permission to use them, am making no profit off of them and therefore suing me would be a pointless endeavor.

That, and to be honest, it's probably not worth it to try to clean it up.

I should make sure none of my public posts divulge exactly where to find me. I found my name on an (outdated) fan registry which had my DOB and my (former) hometown, which bugged me a bit. It's probably a good thing I'm moving - I'll make sure that this time, my address is not attached to my phone number in the book.

And maybe locking some of the more vehement rants about Bill Gates would be wise...
